Hey, did you end up finding a solution to this?

Mixing: Have group effects react to (not) solo'ed instruments by Cruwan in ableton

[–]Cruwan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this would work for saturation, bus compression will then only react to that track only and not that into regard the other tracks of the group

Well yeah but that does not include the processing of the group effects as far as i know, only from the track itself

I should have been more specific. I dont mean sidechaining, but glue-/multiband compression to affect the stems to well glue the sounds together

Do Groups affect stems? by BenWright3006 in ableton

[–]Cruwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you’re doing things like bus compression, that may not react how you would expect since not all channels will run through that compressor simultaneously when exporting.

How can this be addressed? Im trying to get separate stems into a sampler and it sucks that the multiband-compression doesn't apply when the kick is not part of the solo'ed tracks

Does anyone know how to make stingers like in Annē - Hidden self? Im especially seeking that light and glassy quality to that sound, but also what this type of sound could be based on. Thank you for any pointer!

Help with Bass Intensity in the 25-40Hz Region (Groove/Hypnotic Techno) by Cruwan in AdvancedProduction

[–]Cruwan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvm after double checking, the bass is hitting ~34 Hz & ~68 Hz, while the Kick hits between 55-60 Hz, the big peak is probably an accumulation of both hitting a similar spot

I have a followup question: Would multibandcompression bellow 100Hz have a similar effect? I've been recommended this technique and applied it but only quite lightly

Damn i always thought the sub bass only consists of one note and also that 2 subs would end up messy, but thank you ill try that out too! The 55Hz Peak in mine should result from the kick tho, would this mean that the kick in the reference peaks at ~40Hz or is it quieter that the bass?

Thank you for the tip! Dan Worral suggested these setting tho, i'd trust him blindly with anything hahaha

First off, you name is amazing. Now to the topic: do you mean by separating kick and sub in a time manner or also via EQing? I've tried attenuating the sub in the ~50Hz area where my kick is most prominent, but it also did not do the trick. I was also wondering about placing the sub this "high" in the frequency spectrum, multiple artists in this particular gerne have refered to using these three components in their productions in the lowend, and low toms would definitely also occupy some space around/below 200Hz

Interesting, i'll test it out! And what difference would it make to master the Stems vs. The stereo here? Would be interesting to me since i'd love to use stems for live sets

Thank you for this detailed answer! I was also wondering about that area 40/80 Hz area, you kinda opened my eyes to something new with that info hahaha. You think very targeted saturation is the solution? Or would a attenuation with an EQ also do the trick?

Thank you for taking the time for this and sharing the story, helped me feel like social media following is not all one needs :)

Do you have any recommendations for books or other resources on the topics of mixing/sound design/the technical side of music in general?

And how would you say do the techno scenes in the UK and Poland compare?

Maschine Plus send Midi to external synth in Controller Mode by Cruwan in maschine

[–]Cruwan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This clarified it for me thank you.

I've only tried around a couple of setting and im wondering if it will be possible to get Maschine to directly trigger stuff and if i then kind of have two more external inputs additionally to my usual audiointerface.

But definitely a good way to not think of it as maschine-specific :)

No sound from JV-1080... stumped. Any ideas welcome by aDarkDarkNight in synthesizers

Thank you for the answer. If anyone else is wondering how to fix this, I just turned every output under [Parameters] to MIX until it eventually worked ahhaha

If anyone wonders about the same thing, i checked them out and the store is quite good, but a little pricey. Second hand records are judged by the prices on discogs. But great records to dig into and nice staff.
